This week's freebie is a 'mechanical rat' and although we could
use any of Tammy's beautiful images for the challenge, I decided
to use this one. It was a real challenge, as what type of card does
one make with the image being a rat! I'm quite happy about the
way the card turned out.

I used Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Circle and Cuttlebug
embossing folder Swiss Dots. The background I made
myself - can you see it is full of rats?! Sentiment was made
using PS. This is the first time I made something 'mechanical'
but it was easy to do.

For my second card to this challenge I have used a digital
stamp from "Pattie's Creations." I used Nestabilities Classic
Scalloped Circles Large around the image. The embossing
is from a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Background pattern
paper is from a designer paper pad from My Mind's Eye.

Following is the card I made for the latest CDAC Progressive Challenge.
The digital stamp is from "Just Some Lines." I used Core'dinations
green card stock - I went around it with a distressing tool by
Tom Holtz. On the red cardstock I used Cuttlebug embossing
folder Swiss Dots. Around the image I used Nestabilities
Labels Teenty-Two. This is my latest Nestabilities folder and
I like it very much. I used Christmasy colours , which go very
nicely with the added black. The sentiment was done on Word.
